Royal Poison
Event
At the start of each combat, lose 4 HP.
At the start of your first turn in every combat you lose 4 HP. The loss is unblockable and unpowered: Block does not stop it. You only get it by choosing to enjoy the tea at The Round Tea Party in Glory, which also heals you to full. The other option costs 11 HP once and gives a random relic instead.

When to take Royal Poison
Take the tea when a full heal beats 4 HP per remaining fight, which is usual late in Glory at low HP. Prefer the fight instead if you are near full HP or have many combats left.
